So much better at this game than BF4. Very different experiences, both fun.

Yeah it's really bad.
The game has great gameplay, but the infrastructure and UI are total shit.
Just keep it basic, clean, readable...not stylized and offset for no apparent reason, with absurdly small text.
They should fire whoever is doing the UI for their games because it really is atrocious.

Nope, it and the lack of voice chat is really baffling.

Now I understand why this game franchise isn't huge. Multiplayer isn't much fun, even when you're winning. It doesn't have that smooth feel like in Battlefield or Call of Duty. It's boring, more so than the campaign.

Warming up to the Spoor...
You can charge it without zooming in.

Good games, y'all. Got lots of stuff recorded, and some hilarious chatter went through on the recording as well. Won't get it uploaded until tomorrow night.
Thankfully this is the first post I saw. Planning on trading in BF4 for killzone tomorrow. The SP is pretty boring and I suck at the MP. Just horrible.
What makes killzone easier/better? Curious.

Dunno about easier since there is no auto aim, but Killzone MP has all weapons unlocked at the start, though many are class specific. Gun attachments are unlocks, but not with XP. You must complete challenges to unlock stuff (similar to BF3 assignments). Also, all MP maps will be free, unlike BF's map packs/Premium. There is a Season Pass, but that's for a co-op horde mode and extra maps for that mode; MP stuff is also included (not maps, maybe new guns or classes).
MP isn't a single mode, either (like Conquest or Rush) Rather, Warzones are dynamic and can change modes very few minutes or so (from search and destroy to tdm to king of the hill, etc), all on a single map. Of course, players can make Custom Warzones and tweak the game to their liking and even keep it at one mode (TDM, for example) if they wish.
But Shadow Fall does have some negatives: no native in-game chat (only party chat works), and menus are not really great. Hopefully the devs address these issues soon. Still, the pros outweigh the cons and if you want an experience different from Battlefield, Killzone is awesome! A lot of people loved Killzone 2's MP and are comparing this game's MP to it. Beautiful graphics and animations, class based gameplay, guns feel satisfying to use.

Good games tonight everyone.
Still disappointed we lost on The Divide. I am now down at the bottom of every bottle.

It was the chemistry, man. We were all new teammates and we needed to gel.
After the Nickelback sing-a-long, we went on a winning streak. Nickelback fueled us.

Haha. I don't really care. The team ref and I were playing with last night played The Divide like 7 times so I'm just giving everyone who was playing with us last night a hard time.

So I never really snipe in multiplayer shooters but I started playing around with the Fors tonight and...good god that gun is satisfying. Did really well with it and had some fun sniper battles with these guys that were spawn trapped on Forest. Emergency Teleport is so fun to use with it, like pressing a "NOPE" button when you round a corner into a dude.
Also the Punt pistol is like, the hidden best thing about Scout class. Just wish the Spoor wasn't so...poor. Though I nailed some good kills with the alt fire tonight. It's really good in that mode, just a downer that burst mode sucks so much ass.

Well, its official. Im the suckieest suck that's ever sucked, also, I have terrible freaking luck. So for my first night, I ended with a sub .6 KDR and won 3 or 4 out of 15 games. I have no idea how the hell I end up losing that many games joining random matches.
I will perceiver though. I just need to find a gun that I like. Im really really missing the m82 and proxy mines. What gun is closest to the m82? I think the m55 is too fast and too inaccurate, or maybe I just suck.

GAF solution whenever they dont like something: Fire somebody.

This is what I love about playing with GAF, that kind of weird shit.
Like, playing hide-and-go-seek, or melee only against randoms in U2; and everyone humping the ground in a pile at the end of a match in MGO.
...I need a PS4!

Peak time for this game is in the evening it seems. Can't wait until it launches in Europe on the 29th - the player base should definitely increase by then. Killzone is really popular in Europe, right?

Whenever you get one, we'll be here. GAF nights are going to be a regular thing =D
Aw yeah, GAF clan incoming?

So, only 30-50 people play 24-player Warzone every day...
Didn't run with the Neogaf crew, but I personally had some good games last night and its starting to click.
Admittedly the last time I ever played a FPS extensively for MP was Battefield

. I therefore don't have the fatigue of many FPS pros out there, but don't have the skill either, still fun as heck playing as support knowing I can at least contribute spawn points and rezzes if nothing else!

Didn't get any invites last night. You did add me as a friend, games must have been full I guess.

I saw after I got off that other people had stuff going too, are there usual people who get partys going that I should add as friends?

I saw you on, but I thought you were already playing with GAF. I should have sent an invite or something. I was having problems with PSN last night though. The party chat menu wouldn't load for me and I tried join some games through my friends list, but it was taking forever to join so I just played some AC4. After I was done playing that I tried the party chat menu again and it loaded so it must have been a short PSN hiccup for me.
You bring up a good question though toro. What is the best way to go about joining up with GAFers? Should we just hop into a party chat if there's a spot open or should we post here first to see if there's games going on and try to get an invite?

Send me a message on PSN and then post on here. Our group was full last night, but there were other GAF members who wanted to play as well. I could help you link with others and we could potentially have another GAF on GAF match like the other day.

The Voltage is awesome. One burst to kill an enemy, two for a nano shield, and it's pretty fast at killing sentries and turrets too. Why do I see so little people using this?
